I've used Trello for 3 years. Yesterday, when I click Download on an attachment in a trello card, it no longer downloads to my download folder - it just displays on the screen. What happened? I've rebooted twice. Didn't solve it.
Hi LuNell,The issue you refer to is a known issue with the current version of Trello and something we're looking to fix very soon. It was caused by a recent Chrome update.A workaround for now is to right click on the image in the new tab and then save from there.
Christopher, Can you let us know when this is resolved? We noticed that the "download" option doesn't appear in Chrome, Edge or Microsoft Explorer. (We have not tried Safari or Firefox.) We are using the workaround, but do miss the ease of simply clicking "Download". Thank you for working on this!
This also isn't working for me, and I'm using the desktop app. Please address as soon as you can. My less Trello-literate colleagues are having a hard time with the work-around and it's affecting our workflow. Thank you!
Just to add that the download button does not appear in Safari. Hugely effecting our workflow efficiency, would appreciate a fix soon. Thanks!
So you're stating it's a Chrome issue? Then why does the issue appear in Firefox and Safari as well?
Are there any updates here? This is causing major issues internally for my team and slowing us down significantly.
@Teddy - Any update on this? We really miss our download button and to echo the others, we are really slowed down by this glitch. Appreciate any update or ETA so I can the keep the team from storming the castle.
Considering this has been an issue for as long as it has with no apparent fix in process, it's time for us to look into an alternative. Trello is out of touch and there are better options it seems. Bye!
I've found you have to have Google Drive power up enabled for the download button to appear. Working as a hack for now.
I have Google Drive poer up enabled, and still no download button...

Open a free Google Drive account, upload your assets there, then inside Trello attach via the Google Drive option. Then when your team members click on an attached asset it'll open in Google Drive accompanied by clear and visible download button. Job done, no?
I can't tell if ur serious or not
Still not working. Why are you guys wrecking Trello? Oh yeah, you're Atlassian.
Hey all,
At this point you'll need to right-click on the preview or "open in new tab" links and use the download option from your browser. Details on the why are in the link.
Cheers,Daniel
Thank you, Daniel. This was helpful, as was your explanation of why this has become an issue in the link. I will forward this information on to our team.
Ahh no, lots of other apps can download from Chrome - it's a Trello decision or lack of bug fix that's costing us 10+ hrs a week now
Yep, still broken - time to move
Its still broken in 2019 as well
But I use the Trello desktop-app, and it does not give me a context-meny on right-click. I need to "open in browser", and then do file "save as"... It should be easier to download it...
Try clicking the little -> that is at an angle just to the right of the attachment text. That opened it in a new tab saving the file for me.
There is no "save link as" function in my case, save as only tries to save an HTML link rather than the original file format (as does opening the file and trying to save from a new window), basically after 20 minutes of digging I still have no idea how to download the original file format (in this case SVG but it happens on several different formats) and will need to go back to the designed to get the original file directly. This now happens several times a week and it should not be this difficult to download an attachment from trello.
